We also have a Vantana ES, which we also love. We do not run as many slides per day as you. For the infrequently asked for antibodies, but still wanting to automate the run, I use the titration labels, and apply the antibody at the designated time. A little birdie told me this trick and has worked out quite well. Of course, this is a separate run on the machine.
Hope this helped.
